The same as HKS purple but with a pearl through it will have to check the exact name for it at work.

OK so bit of progress over the weekend. Fixed the thread on the LCA and bolted the knuckles up.

Picked up some ikeya formula tie rods, centered the rack and bolted them up with the spacers from JPP.

Seem to be getting slightly more lock to the right even with the wheel turning the exact same turns lock to lock. So thats doing my head in atm.

Also got some driftworks traction rods from Cartel to finish off my adjustable arms.

Took the boost controller out of the system and hooked up a boost gauge and went for a test drive. Gate opens at about 7psi and boost creeps to about 10-11 by redline. Wasnt cutting and drove smoothly. Didnt want to take it too far cause of the wheel alignment being way out. Have one booked for Saturday morning so more testing on the weekend, get to cruise around Lakeside on Sunday if the cars going well so should be able to sort some shit out. Matsuri is approaching fast!!

Yeah the green is a bit more subtle, not real sure on the colour yet either. Did do a pretty rubbish job of spraying them though haha.

Teks are a strange wheel they have 2 good 'angles' but look nasty in general. Hope that made sense...

Starting to get really picky with this car. Think it will need a makeover soon or ill start getting bored with it :(

Wanted to test out Doomah's wheel alignment so got in on a skidpan day, couldnt wait for qr to reopen.

First time testing it on the pan with the 25 and lock. So much easier to drive :)

Had to buy new shit to keep me happy. Finally found a new bonnet so looks alot cleaner at the front even though the fit isnt perfect.

And after almost two years of owning this shit tin found the taillights that I wanted. Now looks like a christmas tree so have to repaint the wheels. Was thinking red. Thoughts?

Haha yeah that candy purple is not worth doing on these wheels :P

Gotta stick to the export quality range. Havnt done red or blue yet so they are the most likely choices.

Booked in for morning session in March and now have a GoPro 2 so will finally get some decent footage!

So first week of having the car home has had a lot of progress. Cleaned up the engine bay- mounted oil cooler, remounted catch can and fuse box, tidied up the rest of the loom, painted wheels red and found why the boost controller wasn't working. Car had started toeing in at the front for some reason couldn't figure out why so did a quick alignment tonight. After a couple of turns of the lh tie rod fell out of the rack. Very lucky it happened then and not on the highway/track. Also put one of the euro lines on the front and seems to fit...

Need a small slip on and a slightly smaller tyre but should work.

Tomorrow involves 2-way, 25 turbo and degrease engine bay.

    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
    • I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
    • Wonder what the cause is, but here's hoping it's nothing too serious.
